Mom was talking about holiday plans and asking Jean whether she would be free to go out in December. (Un)fortunately, Jean's NEmation team got into the top 10 again and her December holiday is officially gone. She'll be off to Europe immediately after her Chinese O Level for Sabatical, which leaves 5 days of her holiday free.

Mom: That leaves lynn, mom and I for our holiday...

Jean and I: Huh why you and you at the same time?!

Mom: Oh err.. Haha.. Trinity! (the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit)

This reminded me of Ai. (Ai, me and myself)

Recently, there have beem a lot of phone calls with advertisements. I can always tell when they are advertisments because the callers can never pronounce dad's name correctly. But for courtesy's sake and unfortunately leading to a sense of (false) hope for the caller, I still pass the phone to the relevant person. Due to the increase in such calls, mom suddenly came up with a good strategy to maximise the caller's experience. Her plan:

Unknown caller: Hi may I speak to ______ ? Oh, we are from _______ asking you blah blah blah...

A Chan (let's say, mom): Do you know about the 4 spiritual laws?

And from there, you can start telling the poor person on the other end of the line about

1. God LOVES you and offers a wonderful PLAN for your life.
2. Man is SINFUL and SEPARATED from God. Therefore, he cannot know and experience God's love and plan for his life.
3. Jesus Christ is God's ONLY provision for man's sin. Through Him you can know and experience God's love and plan for your life.
4. We must individually RECEIVE Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God's love and plan for our lives.

Ear check on Friday, which means I can't celebrate after music exam. The scary thing is, yesterday, I experienced temporary deafness twice. It was surprisingly frequent compared to the usual once-a-month deafness. Once was while waiting for the Chem paper to start, and the other was while I was walking in school. It seems like a bad sign to me.

The feeling of temporary deafness: the sound from my surroundings encounters a sudden decrescendo and there's a very loud high-pitched sound in my ear. It goes off after a minute, but the experience is stilll terrifing because you never know if that's the end of your hearing.
